So, you’ve already read Crossdressers are Transsexuals without Balls, right? No? Go back and read it. Then come back and watch as we tear that myth a new one. I’ll wait.

Beleaguered Wife Syndrome

My second essay here was going to be a continuation of my social capital article from last month. Since that was met with such fanfare, I’m encouraged to do something a little different this time around. I’ll get back to that eventually, but first let’s see who I can piss off.

“Crossdressers are Transsexuals without Balls.”

| Dec 3, 2007 | Reply

So goes the hypothesis anyway. I’ve heard it from a few people that crossdressers are simply transsexuals without the guts to transition. Unfortunately, those espousing this idea never seem to have any evidence to back it up. Let’s face it: there’s not nearly enough scientific research on any of us.

The Great And Terrible Riz — Our New Blogger Takes On Social Capitalism

Hi, I’m Riz. This is my blog/column/whatever you want. And today we’re talking about social capital… what it is, why you want it, and why it’s important to our success as a community. I’ve been reading a lot about a thing called “social capital” lately. Like so many things, once you know what it is, […]

Ronnie’s Christmas Wish List

| Nov 19, 2007 | Reply

Yes, Christmas is still more than a month away, but in the past, I’ve waited too long to present my wish list. Obviously, I released the list too late, because no-one got me anything. So, without further delay: gift ideas for me.

Mixed Thoughts on ENDA

| Nov 8, 2007 | Reply

By now, you’ve probably heard that ENDA passed the House of Representatives. It’s now headed for debate in the Senate, and if it passes that Democratically-controlled body, it’s on to the White House for a probable veto. (Read more at the San Francisco Chronicle.) I’m not happy about the removal of “transgender” from the bill, […]

A Blast from the Past

| Nov 1, 2007 | Reply

Ten years ago this week, I had the opportunity to not only meet JoAnn Roberts, but to sit down and interview her. The plan was to write up the interview for our local support group’s newsletter. But, like many plans, it was set aside, and the cassette tape was forgotten. Until now.

Bill O’Reilly — The Putz Factor

| Oct 17, 2007 | Reply

A putz is someone who acts like a dick and while most of the time Bill O’Reilly’s dog and pony show on The Fox News Network doesn’t bother me (mostly because I never watch it anymore after I finally noticed that he sucked) I went to visit my family on Sunday and Monday, and Monday […]

How do you stack up?

How do you compare with these demographics? “At least once a month, 88 percent of respondents said they dine out, 66 percent shop at a home improvement store, 63 percent go to the movies, and 53 percent exercise in a gym. Fifty percent go out to a bar or club, 39 percent visit a museum, […]

This Week’s Tits

| Sep 5, 2007 | Reply

And by tits, I mean boobs. And by boobs, I mean gits. Which rhymes with tits. Which in this case means “people so frustratingly stupid you’ll want to pull your hair out by the roots, and then lay whimpering on the floor.”

What A Crock!

| Aug 22, 2007 | Reply

And I’m not talking about those damn plastic shoes, either. The problem with being a writer is that sometimes the ideas don’t come as quickly as you’d like. And sometimes they come faster than you can deal with. When the latter happens, you jot down some notes to hopefully use during the former. But, inevitably, […]

Mad skillz

If you look at crossdressing, I think you’ll find a number of secondary benefits. Oh, sure, we learn how to walk in heels, and we’re sympathetic towards women because we know how high heels can hurt. We know how to coordinate an outfit. (Well, some of us do.) Many of us have learned to not […]

When does Marci Bowers find time to perform surgery?

| Aug 11, 2007 | Reply

I mean, c’mon! Every time I see a documentary on transgenderism, she’s in it—her and Jameson Green. Granted, they’re both excellent speakers, and great ambassadors, but isn’t there anyone else out there willing to be interviewed? At this rate, the world is going to believe the transgender world consists of Jameson, Marci and whoever she’s […]

The World’s Fastest Friend of TG’s

| Jul 30, 2007 | Reply

We rented The World’s Fastest Indian over the weekend. The movie, that is. The original is either in a museum or a scrap heap by now, I’m sure. Anyhoo… T-girls are popping up everywhere it seems. When you least expect it, there will be an actor in drag. And this movie is no exception.

From my ears, to your hips.

Or something like that. It was just over three years ago that I got my ears pierced. Both of them. I did it at Be-All in Chicago, after meeting a friend who had both hers done. Since that time, I’ve had remarkably little reaction. In boy-world, I’m a pretty straight-laced, clean cut, conservative-appearing fellow, so […]

ANYTHING OVER A MOUTHFUL… SHOULD BE CUT OFF

The New York Times ran an ariticle about gynecomastia, the condition of enlarged male breasts. The article appeared in the June 14 2007 edition of the Times and included some surprising statistics about the prevalence of young men who are having breast reduction surgery to correct the affliction of “Man boobs.”

Really, I’ve had it. I can’t live like this anymore. Some big changes have to be made. It started out small. A skirt here, a dress there. But now it’s out of hand! I’ve gotta get back into that closet and make some hard decisions.
